How to Choose the Perfect Wedding Dress

Organising a wedding is a huge undertaking with so many things to consider. The venue, food, flowers, transport to and from the wedding, number of guests, bridesmaids, the dress. The list goes on. You may find that many people are willing to give you endless advice on all aspects of a wedding, but for many brides finding the perfect dress is a priority.

Although shopping for a wedding dress can be fun, there is so much choice it is sometimes difficult to make a decision. If you take time to assess yourself before you shop, you could save yourself a great deal of time and effort. Take a look at yourself in a full length mirror and assess your body shape (are you curvy with a small waist, big busted, narrow, flat-chested?) and your colouring (hair, skin and eye colour).

Although white is a traditional colour for wedding dresses, not all women look their best in pure white. It can be very harsh and a softer colour such as ivory or champagne can be kinder on the skin. Try standing in by the window of the shop and hold the material up near your face and see what effect it has on your skin. If you have visited a colour consultant, you can use your colour swatch wallet to find the perfect colour.

The style of the dress is equally important. You may have a mental image of the style of dress you are looking for, but different styles suit different body shapes. For example if you have an hour glass figure, wearing a stiff taffeta dress without any waist definition will not be flattering. You will be better in a soft silky fabric that drapes your curves and shows of your tiny waist. If however you have a very straight body without much waist definition, a dress with straight lines and some rigidity to the fabric will give you a slim shapely silhouette. Consider your height. If you are under 5'3" tall, a very full skirted dress will make you look shorter and squarer. Try and match your petite stature with less froth and frill. An image consultant can help you discover how to dress your body shape and give you specific styles to look for.

Although some bridal shops have experienced shop assistants who can advise you on colour and shape, it is worth having a good understanding of your body and naturally colour to help you decide. It is also worth looking in bridal magazines prior to your shopping trip and cutting out pictures of styles you like to use as a "starting point".

Now you have decided on the dress, you need to consider veils, shoes, jewelry and bridesmaids, and possibly the mother of the bride!

How to Choose and Apply Makeup Blush

A blusher is something you apply to give your skin a healthy glow, warmth, highlight and create definition but it is very important that you do not get your application wrong as you might end up with clown rosy cheeks. I always think it is not really the shade of the blusher that is usually the problem but the application, do not get me wrong you still need to find a blush that will compliment your skin as naturally as possible. You will also find that it is more difficult to apply a cream blush compared to a powder blush which is also faster to apply.

Just in case you are one of those people who are not quite sure about what shades of blushers would suit them try this tip: to look as natural as possible choose a colour that is close to your cheek colour. Pinks and reds are usually very good for winter while peaches, oranges, corals are good for summer. For dark skin tones the colours listed above are to be totally avoided, instead go for the browns and bronzes.

Medium skin: Warm pink and warm earthy reds.

Dark skin: Browns and deep bronze.

Olive skin: Brown shades of red or plum or coral.

Fair skin: Pale pink red or a very light bronze.

To apply blush stand in front of a mirror in a well lighted room and make a smiley face or suck in your cheeks (this is after your foundation has been applied of course!), use a soft blush brush and start from the ear line stopping at the apple of your cheek, 1-2 strokes with your brush should usually be enough as you do not want to over apply your blush even if it suits your skin tone, usually the more you apply the brighter it becomes. If you are applying a liquid blush use a sponge and follow the same procedure. If you have over applied your blush you can always tone down with a translucent powder veil using a fan brush, or use a clean sponge and very gently dab away any excess.
